Remember the Bronies? Adult (and mostly male) My Little Pony fandom, first gawped at here almost a year-and-a-half ago, has not gone away. It apparently just keeps growing.

A new documentary on the phenomenon, called Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Ponyand produced by Michael Brockhoff, includes a rather snappy and, frankly, edifying tune, voiced by John DeLancie (Q from Star Trek), explaining the appeal and the distinction between the classes of Brony: starter, moderate, creative and hipster.

“Though the growth of Brony fandom might simply seem absurd,” it goes. “True fans adore the show and others gallop to the herd.”
